     perhaps some of these would be spectators were hoping to catch a
glimpse into what they had to look forward to.
     or,maybe they thought that somewhere between life and death,tim
might pass on wisdom previously denied living man.
also, it is commonly believed that a good many of the crowds that attend
high-end auto racing go in the hopes (wether they are aware of it or
not)that they might see some poor bastard go out in a ball of fire.
i don't believe that peoples' mental disorders fit neatly into textbook
catagories,nnor do i believe that someone should be labeled as sick for
being intrigued at the notion of witnessing someone's last moments.
disclaimer: i only heard about this net-suicide thing on this list,and
assumed it was a joke.i have no interest in watching such,but withhold
judgement on those who do.
ob bitch:my wife and i got the sack simultaneously this week.they shut
down our business. rj
